The cable modem is also being considered a hub for Voice-over-IP (VoIP) as well. The cable model could in fact become the new platform of digital content delivered into the home (Fowler, 2006). Creating Synergy

Inherent in any approach to creating technological convergence is the need for creating enough agility and flexibility in the design to support the multiplicity of needs customers have (Bores, Saurina, Torres, 2003). This has to be accomplished while sneering a high degree of integration and connectivity across all the associated technologies in the new product. This is apparent in how rapidly smartphones are gaining adoption, as the integration of digital content, voice technologies and enhanced screens are making smartphones grow exceptionally fast compared to other technologies today (Ruan, Gopinath, 2010). The creating of synergies has to be based on a tight integration of these factors together to ensure the highest levels of usability and reliability in an entirely new device, in a new category of the market.

Conclusion

Technological convergence is accelerating as computing platforms, video, voice, and all forms of digital content continue...

The focus on how to gain the greatest use of these technologies in the context of changing user needs is the pace that companies need to keep up with. With the level of technological convergence increasing the need for managing these innovations as strategic platforms is crucial for their continued growth (Bores, Saurina, Torres, 2003).
